Summary – Chapter 9: Angles
An angle is the space between two straight lines that meet at one point.
The point where the two lines meet is called the vertex.
Angles are measured in degrees (°).
There are three main types of angles:
1. Right Angle
o Measures exactly 90°.
2. Acute Angle
o Measures more than 0° but less than 90°.
3. Obtuse Angle
o Measures more than 90° but less than 180°.
We can see angles everywhere around us, such as in doors, clocks, books, windows, and
tables.
